    It may last just 32 minutes, but You & I Are Earth never feels rushed or slight. There’s a kind of glow to many of its tracks and it’s that glow which gives this record its own power. .... The best album of Anna B Savage’s career to date.

    It definitely helps that You and I are Earth sparkles with Savage’s most direct, open and unabashedly beautiful music to date.

    Lankum producer John 'Spud' Murphy helps bring form to these candid candlelit songs of rapture and reflection, while guests include Cormac MacDiarmada and multi-instrumentalist Anna Mieke, whose strings prove gently transportive. [Feb 2025, p.40]

    Sensuous and calm, yet cut through with deep strumming guitar and a rolling lilt, it has a folk rock drift that's less ribald, less edgy than the theatrical spark of 2021's A Common Turn and in|FLUX (2023). [Mar 2025, p.90]

    You & i are Earth is full of love songs, both to a person and to Ireland (her home of the last several years), and it’s a joyful thing to hear the peaceful contentment and sense of wonder that emanates from Savage across the record’s 10 songs.

    This is You & i are Earth’s best strength: its intimacy, its cosiness, and its unabashed adoration of its subjects.

    The album's overriding ethos is expressed more clearly on tracks like "I Reach for You in My Sleep" and closer "The Rest of Our Lives," whose warm, layered harmonies, nimble fingerpicking, and gentle background shimmer evoke and encourage sweet dreams.
